Beldon Haigh is back, and this time, he's not holding back. On his latest single, "Elected," he blends pop, rock, and punk in a raucous, sharp-witted satire. As political turmoil makes international headlines, Haigh flips the script with a track that both mocks and motivates, challenging you to own their vote while calling out power-hungry politicians and the absurdity of Politics.
Originally sung decades ago by Falkirk's Breakfast Boyz, "Elected" returns with a new sonic boost and an even heavier anthem. This is definitely in the ballpark for the song's accompanying music video. It takes it to the streets of Falkirk High Street bars, where a fictional politician from the Moon on a Stick party is begging for votes. The result is hilariously outlandish yet eerily on target, as the members of Haigh's band wear hyper-realistic trappings of towering global political figures, making the spectacle an astute, must-watch commentary.
In an era when people are tired of politics, Beldon Haigh breathes much-needed life into the discussion, utilizing music as a mirror and a megaphone. "Elected" is the album Muscle of Love and serves as a potent reminder that no matter how much politicians play the game, we, the people, have the ultimate power.
